A route in the very south of the Fontainebleau Forest, comprising two distinctly different sections. The route begins, outside the national forest, on the Denecourt-Colinet path no. 20, which winds its way through the Rochers de Recloses, featuring several rock shelters, including one known as the “Abri des Francs”. We continue north of this area to complete a circular route via forest paths. At the end of the route, the church at Recloses adds a lovely touch of heritage.
